The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In the Moon Goddess’ room,

A young girl was reading something on a scroll of parchment. She stared at word by word and did not blink at all. Not only was that parchment wide open on the table, but five other parchments had been opened and ignored as if there was no information she was looking for.

“If what the Book of Destiny says is true, then I have to find a way to ask the gods and goddesses for help. I do not want just to call Havento because it is hazardous. If I am not mistaken, Mom once told me about Ask Your Fellow Immortal Spell, but I am still unsure which parchment I wrote it down on.”

A woman with thin eyebrows read all the writing again and became interested in a sentence that seemed familiar to her. “If you are in an emergency and there is no one to help, then you can call the immortal gods or goddesses. Keep in mind the success rate is less than one hundred per cent because it all depends on their generosity and what your problem is. If they think your problem is too heavy, then they will definitely be rejected. Well, there is no harm in trying.”

“Before starting the ritual, first clean the area where you are. Do not let the place you live in look dirty. When finished, you need to remember several things, namely:

1. Do not pronounce the spell by shouting because fellow immortals are not deaf.

2. Do not read the spell while crying because a confused mind means the magic does not work optimally.

3. If after you say the spell, there is no reaction, then repeat it continuously.

4. If a god or goddess comes and they ask what your problem is, then tell them frankly. If your request is rejected, then thank them and let them go.

5. If a god or goddess is willing to help you, then say thank you and, as soon as possible, make an agreement with him or her.

6. Keep your promise once an immortal god or goddess is willing to help you. If not, he or she will report it to the Grand Gods Council, so they will definitely punish you severely. Great God Council consisted of seven immortals renowned for adjudicating grave cases: four immortal gods and three immortal goddesses. They cannot be bribed, let alone negotiated with, especially if you are the perpetrator. Trust me, you will choose to die rather than have to face them.

7. Never teach this spell to mortals because it can be considered an insult. Immortals have a higher position than these lowly people. Suppose a human, including witches, utters a particular immortal spell. In that case, either a mortal who casts it or an immortal god or goddess who teaches it, then both of them will definitely be tortured to death.

8. If you are ready for the consequences, nothing will stop you; you must cast this spell: Getriza, getriza, agrethu tevzt! [1].”

A woman who did not like flirtatious men was silent for a moment as if she was considering something. After twenty seconds of silence, Atvertha inevitably had to make a choice because there was no way out of the situation she was facing. “Hm… the conditions for helping fellow immortals are really tough. I thought it would be easier for me. I have to take a risk rather than not doing it at all.”

Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover still held the parchment. The desire to meet her couple and the memory of the promise of loyalty that she and her mortal man had made while they were on Earth further increased the longing in Atvertha’s heart. “I can’t fail. Armen is my mate, so I have to fight to marry him,” said Atvertha quietly.

“Getriza, getriza, agrethu tevzt!” Atvertha said the spell with feeling and without any hesitation. There was no sign of the presence of the immortal god or goddess yet. That violet-eyed girl continued to wait in silence, but what she expected had not yet appeared. She deliberately remained silent for three minutes, but still, there was no fellow immortal figure she expected to be able to help her.

“Have I read the spell correctly? I should repeat it because point three says that if there is no reaction, I must be reread continuously.”

“Getriza, getriza, agrethu tevzt!”

Suddenly, the girl stopped chanting the spell. She spontaneously turned toward the door, but there was no one there. Suspicion began to emerge within a woman with thin eyebrows. Atvertha instead deliberately remained silent, looking around the room for a few minutes as if she wanted to confirm something, even though nothing suspicious happened in the end. However, all this still did not calm her down.

“The information I read on the parchment does not say whether Mom and Dad can hear this spell, but there is no harm in being careful. I do not want to let them find out that I deliberately asked fellow immortal for help so that I could go to Earth.”

A girl who always looked youthful deliberately got up from her seat and then strolled to a certain point. She arrived in front of a mirror that showed nothing but her reflection. Atvertha reminisced about being with an immortal goddess, who unfortunately was not there. “Nyx, I wish you were here… but she has warned me several times that she would not help if my man and I get into trouble. It was really annoying.”

“I have to be able to try on my own, but how do I remove the seal that Mom has made? The Book of Destiny only mentions a few suggestions, and the last hint is that I have to be able to cooperate with Havento, even though that strange man liked me. No. That would be a bad idea because it made me feel like a terrible goddess who took advantage of it. It would be unfair for him and I.”

“Ah, forget it. I am sure that sooner or later, an immortal god or goddess will be willing to help in the future, even though the possibility is very small or even non-existent.”

The only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia fell silent and then began to close her eyes. “Physically, Mom imprisoned me, but mentally, I was free. I promised my man that we would be together forever and protect the wolves on Earth. I can’t give up now.” Atvertha seemed to be encouraging herself by remembering all the commitments she had made.

“Getriza, getriza, agrethu tevzt! Help me because I am one of you who needs help from you, fellow immortals.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
